ClinVar

Description

The IL1B p.Glu10Lys variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in ClinVar or Cosmic. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs376289593), LOVD 3.0 and in control databases in 29 of 251464 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000115 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 24 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.000784), Other in 2 of 6138 chromosomes (freq: 0.000326) and European (non-Finnish) in 3 of 113746 chromosomes (freq: 0.000026), while the variant was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and European (Finnish) populations. The p.Glu10 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
